Even when they don't end up murdering people I hear they can be quite a nuisance for the fire/medical emergency calls they're required to show up for.
I believe that’s a well documented phenomenon. Even my fireman/parametric uncle, who put blue bulbs in his porch lights in the summer of 2020, fucking hates it when he shows up to find the cops have propped up a barely conscious person with a spinal injury against their squad car. Says it has all the time and you just gotta hope they didn’t fuck anything up too bad.
Good lord. That's like the cardinal rule when dealing with somebody who has been hurt, you don't fucking move them unless you absolutely have to and you keep them as immobilized as you can if you do have to. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised american police don't receive even basic first aid training, they're not really there to save lives.
Jesus christ, but not surprising
